mr. mccain: this bipartisan amendment is simple. it would prohibit bonuses for senior executives at fannie fannie mae and freddie mac. i'm joined by senators rockefeller, enzi, johanns, barrasso, blunt, graham, coburn, and thune. since they're placed in conservatorship in 2008 these government-sponsored entities have soaked the american taxpayer fear nearly $170 billion in bailouts. recently freddie mac requested an additional $6 billion and fannie mae requested an additional $7.8 billion. that's $13.8 billion more coming out of the pockets of hard-working americans, many of which are underwater on their mortgages. now, i'd like to read a article from "politico" back in october titled "fannie and freddie bailout big bonuses." federal finance agency, the government regulator for fannie and freddie approved $12.7 million in bonus pay after ten executives from the two government-sponsored corporations last year met modest performance targets tied to modifying mortgages in jeopardy of foreclosure. executives got the bonuses about two ye

they told talking points memo that mr. romney just misspoke. i guess he's just as confused on his position on immigration as the rest of us are. let's sort it out. let's turn to crystal ball and steve cornacky, and meghan mccain with us today. if it's not immigration, it's immigration. how does he mop this up, crystal? >> it's so -- i feel bad for him, he's having trouble keeping track of his own positions, but i think it underscores the fact because he went so far to the right in the primary, it's very difficult for him to make any movement back to the center. and even though immigration is not the top issue for most american voters, it's one that republicans are very sensitive about. anything that smacks of amnesty is going to beç treated as treason on the right. >> you know, meghan, your dad didn't have a problem with this. your campaign didn't have a problem with this when he was running in 2008. what's the problem here? >> i think he just misspoke. i think it's as simple as he's exhausted, these are the dog days of summer. i am giving hi

i thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator mccain. senator lieberman? >> thanks, mr. chairman. thanks to both of you. my friend from arizona. i have a disagreement. i want to come to the defense of the department of homeland security. the fact is that we haven't had a major terrorist attack on the u.s. since 9/11 and you have to give the leadership, bipartisan, over two administrations, and the thousands of people who work at dhs, some credit for that. secondly, in terms of the stove piping, i think a better analogy here, and it's not a perfect one, it's to compare the relationship between the cia and the fbi to the relationship between cyber command, nsa and dhs. cia has authority outside of the united states of america. the fbi has authority -- this is -- speaking about terrorism, for instance or threats to the nation -- fbi has authority within the country. the problem before 9/11 is there they weren't stove piped, they weren't cooperating enough. in the same way nsa cybercommand, as you said, has the responsibility to protect america. it's a jewel. it's a national
